His successes, however, transcend the field of play as the 27-year-old appears to have spent a staggering $2.759 million on scholarships 100 students at Skyline University.

This is just one of his numerous philanthropic gestures as the attacker shares food items and money to people in Plateau and Kano during Ramadan season.

As an influential sports personality, Musa spent a whopping $1.379 million to erect a sporting facility in the northern state while children and prisoners benefit from his food projects.

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner also joined a host of others who provided palliatives for people during coronavirus lockdown earlier this year.

Musa broke into the country’s senior national team in 2010, and three years later, he joined the list of Nigerian stars who have lifted the AFCON title.
